The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) was delighted to win the Best Practice Award for the second year running at the recent UFEMAT AGM held in Stockholm. UFEMAT is the European Association of National Builders’ Merchants Associations and Manufacturers.

The Award was presented by Marnix Van Hoe, UFEMAT General Secretary, to Peter Hindle MBE, BMF Chairman, and John Newcomb, BMF CEO (pictured).

John Newcomb said: “It is a remarkable achievement to win this prestigious Award again. Many UFEMAT members have far larger operations than our own and it is a terrific tribute to the BMF team that our work to support our members has been recognised again this year.”

Adding his congratulations, Peter Hindle said: “This is testament to the professionalism of the whole team. I am delighted their hard work has been acknowledged once again.”

In a thrilling weekend of sport, England emerged victorious in the Cricket World Cup, Lewis Hamilton took the chequered flag at Silverstone, Novak Djokovic won an epic final at Wimbledon, and Chandler Building Supplies won the BMF Mastermerchant Trophy for the third year running.

“The Merchants of Menace” from Chandlers Building Supplies fought off the challenge from 22 teams, who pushed them all the way, to lift the 2017 BMF Mastermerchant Trophy, presented to the winners of the industry’s annual team building challenge.
